Michael Le Grace Wales Bonner’s collaborations with adidas, though simple, have captured the hearts of a tighter, more dedicated audience. And while a few of her peers sit on stock for months, near every one of the British designer’s works has sold steadily. The same is likely to be true with her next capsule, which remodels the Japan silhouette in two very distinct ways.
The first iteration is more akin to Bonner’s take on the Samba. Placed atop the sole of the retro runner, the construction offers a suede T-toe and seemingly hand-darned details at the heel. More robust leather and nylon fixtures outfit adjacent, rounding out a package due to appear in both “Spice Yellow” and “Cream White.” In contrast, the accompanying design — which is prepared in “Cardboard” and “Legend Ink” — delivers a more minimal upper whose heel and toe are reinforced with X-arranged leathers and additional suede panels, respectively.
